- I'm considering buying a dovetail jig. I've got plans to do lots
- of projects with drawers and don't really want to cut all those
- dovetails by hand. So I'm considering laying down the $$ for a
- dovetail jig. Which dovetail jig should I buy? Note, since I
- normally cut dovetails by hand I really cannot stand the jigs
- that produce dovetails that look "machine cut". Therefore it
- seems like I have two choices: the Leigh and the Porter Cable OmniJig.
- Is the 12" Leigh large enough? It seems like you need a bunch of expensive
- options with the OmniJig to do what the Leigh can do out of the box -- Is
- this true? How about service? (Since all Leigh does is dovetail jigs I
- would expect their service to be better than Porter-Cable's.)
